[Bug 202735] New: CONFIG_DRM_TTM does not have name in Kconfig, so it is invisble for menuconfig

Bug ID: 202735 Summary: CONFIG_DRM_TTM does not have name in Kconfig, so it is invisble for menuconfig Product: Drivers Version: 2.5 Kernel Version: latest Hardware: All OS: Linux Tree: Mainline Status: NEW Severity: low Priority: P1 Component: Video(DRI - non Intel) Assignee: drivers_video-dri@kernel-bugs.osdl.org Reporter: kazakevichilya@gmail.com Regression: No
CONFIG_DRM_TTM is used by many DRM drivers. It is now does not have name in Kconfig, so it only could be autoselected by other drivers. User can't select it with "menu menuconfig"
Virtualbox driver (vboxvideo) uses it, so when I compile new kernel I can't enable this option unless I enable any other driver that I do not need.
I suggest to give it a name, for example "GPU TTM".
I can create patch for that:)

--- Comment #1 from Michel Dänzer (michel@daenzer.net) --- Sounds rather like vboxvideo needs to autoselect TTM as well.

--- Comment #2 from Ilya (kazakevichilya@gmail.com) --- Virtualbox is not part of Linux source tree. Threre is an .iso file for each VBox version that contains sources and script to compile it against your kernel

--- Comment #3 from Jani Nikula (jani.nikula@intel.com) --- Arguably not a bug in kernel.

--- Comment #4 from Ilya (kazakevichilya@gmail.com) --- Not a bug at all. I'd call it "usability problem")
User can't enable TTM (which is required for virtualbox) unless she enables some redundant driver.
